That's really cool. I'm either going to make self-replicating spiders made out of lego-like blocks and call them "Replicators", or make some sort of cyborg and call it "Skynet". But seriously, that's really cool.

^^ I was referring to management there, although come to think of it, they wouldn't know what you're talking about. That could be a good thing.

Ok, ADD/ADHD are real problems and do benefit in some cases from Ritalin. With that said, I definitely prefer this treatment methodology for most of the 'difficult' children I know that have never been taught to sit down and shut up before

A carbon atom doesn't look like that, the bohr model doesn't represent very well what kind of an object an atom really is. I suppose people in general just doesn't care enough about spherical harmonical solutions of the schrödinger equation to care.

"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

Since 1992 [Canadian] photographer and filmmaker Gregory Colbert has collaborated with more than 40 species around the world to create a 21st-century bestiary. These images attempt to express the world not only through human eyes, but also through the eyes of a whale, an elephant, a manatee, a meerkat, a cheetah, or an orangutan.

The flash version is quite nice.

Amazing!

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.

I know, but I suppose it's the most easily recognisable "shape" of an atom to most people, and it keeps the graphic simple, too.

Parenting win indeed, PK. I had flashbacks to Wayne's World, and doing that with school friends in cars.
